Weekend DIY: The Results are in...


The results are in, we repainted the kitchen and dining room this weekend!  The guest room will have to wait for another day, our feet were too tired to even keep us standing long enough to tape off the guest room.

Take a look at our pictures below!






Dining Room


As you can see, the dining room was a mustard gold color.  Here is a photo of Mr. bear in the process of painting the first coat.  Boy were we glad do see that gold go!

We need to get some decor on the walls, but this was the best photo I had that showed the true color of the dining room.  We did the dining room in a flat paint finish.


Kitchen


Here's a photo of the kitchen with the Garden Spot green.  Ironically Valspar paint has a similar color called Dill Pickle.  Mr. Bear HATES pickles, so we will continue to refer to this as "Garden Spot" green.  We did the kitchen in a semi-gloss finish since we don't have a full back splash, it makes for much easier cleanup.

Last night we bought some puck lights to go under the cabinets to light up the space around the stove a bit more.  We are still working on their installation, but I think they will look really nice.


So what do you think?

  1. Looks great! I love the green! I painted our kitchen yellow but I think the green looks great with your white cabinets!

  2. Thanks! I think it provides nice contrast. The white cabinets got lost in the light beige before!
